Chaise lounge

A style of seat or sofa that is long enough for one to recline and rest one’s legs. They typically have a back rest at one end or one corner, and an extended seat to support the rest of the body. Chaise lounges are typically upholstered, but the term may also refer to elongated outdoor seating that serves the same purpose. “Chaise lounge” translated from the French means “long chair.” The style is thought to have originated in ancient Egypt, though it was popularized in 16th century France.
